Scenic Highway 12 offers motorists the chance for a multiple national park vacation. Capitol Reef National Park is located at one end of the route while Bryce Canyon National Park lies on the other. In between, you will find state parks, recreation areas and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, located only minutes from Slot Canyons Inn.

After crossing the Escalante River, the road reaches Calf Creek Recreation Area, an ideal place for a picnic that also offers a six-mile round trip hike to Lower Calf Creek Falls, a 126-foot waterfall emptying into a large pool. Making an ascent along the Hogsback, where cliffs drop into narrow canyons on both sides of the road, Scenic Highway 12 passes through the town of Boulder, home to Anasazi State Park, which features remnants of a prehistoric Indian village and a museum. The last leg of Scenic Highway 12 before Capitol Reef traverses Boulder Mountain’s alpine wilderness.
